    At the wedding at Cana, they come to Mary to say they have no more wine. Why Mary? She goes to Jesus, and he says "It's not yet my time" what the heck does that mean?

    Then he creates enough wine to drown a stable of horses. Is this because the wedding party was great? Is Mary the hostess? Is the wedding that of Jesus himself?

    When Jesus goes to raise Lazarus, Mary (Magdalene) is inside 'sitting shiva'. Jesus calls her out and she comes. Only a husband can call a wife out of shiva. And why is Mary sitting shiva? Is she poor? Doubtful if she is to be considered the woman who annoints Jesus with expensive oil. So Mary is likely related to Lazarus.

    Jesus is called 'rabbi'. Rabbis had to be married.

    When Jesus tells the disciple he loved to take care of his mother Mary, why did he pick this one.

    Consider that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and she was the sister of Lazarus. Then the marriage at Cana in which the servants come to Mary (his mother) makes sense, since she would be the hostess. Jesus could then be called rabbi. Mary Madalene would be sitting shiva for her brother. Who wouldn't "have died if you have been here", since he would have saved his brother-in-law presumably. Martha, Mary's sister comes to get him, her brother-in-law. He calls his wife out of shiva. He raises his brother-in-law from the dead. He entrusts his mother to his brother-in-law.

    It all fits together, as a family story.

    this is interesting but confusing. are you saying the 'beloved disciple' was lazarus? why him rather than the commonly believed John, who was likely related to jesus anyways?

    why would jesus being related to lazarus by marriage have anything to do with the likelihood that lazarus 'wouldnt have died if he has been there?'

    do you suppose that mark deliberately hid the fact of jesus marriage from his readers?

    it seems all much easier to explain by saying that these are little nuggets of stories and half-legends that built up around jesus and got a little intertwined, so that relationships began appearing that werent there before.

    yah sorry, im assuming the beloved discple was lazerus and not john. Don;t the gospels say that all the discples stood at a distance from the cross except the beloved one?

    Very interesting. I suggest you read the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln as it talks a lot about that and even gives scriptures.

    It is also interesting to note in some circles the beloved disciple is thought to have meant Mary. In fact some people have reason to belive that the Gospel of John was written by Mary Magdalene.
